THIS PAINTING IS A REASON TO RESIST A BAILOUT THAT MAKES SPAIN TO BE RULED FROM ABROAD: THE HIGH PRICE PAID IN THE PAST.

In this post I want to congratulate the millions of Spaniards whose behaviour these days I hope it is an example for generations to come. In contrast with me, that I don’t remain calm quite easily, the people in Spain have made something that one day historians will realise that was the most fundamental aspect who saved the world from falling apart.

You can have G7 emergency meetings, you can have Angela Merkel supporting Spain. But the true reason why the world is now not falling apart is because millions of Spaniards have remained calm.

I dislike that a lot of Spaniards have a low lever of English. But maybe this has helped not to have acted as some British media would have loved: with all the Spaniards going to the banks for their money.

The Spaniards have given a lesson to the Financial Times and other British media: We hear your noise but we do not listen to it.
